Freshwater transfer pump

[Farenheit251]

For moving water from plastic tank to machine. Thought I heard of a pump that worked without the blue bladder. Anyone know where to get one and approximate cost.

Shurflo has quite a few diff pumps ranging from 100.00 to 160.00 dollars. Go to www.interlinksupply.com

tractor supply 75.00 and you can return it for a year if you have any problems

So would it be better to go to the mix tank, or straight to the inlet side of the pump??

If you bypass the mix tank you probably wont need a transfer pump as most pressure pumps have plenty of suction.

Flo Jet has been nothing but problems.

Most any RV store will have a variety of pumps with all different flow rates.

My understanding was that the most 12v pumps weren't made for the short cycling every time I trigger the wand. I had a drum w/ pump on it many years ago but the pump kept burning up. Hence the bladder/balloon which fills upand supplies water allowing the pump to run a gallon or so at a time. Unfortunately the bladder is like $350 so a pump that can short cycle would be cheaper and simpler.
Using the suction from the cat pump would be ideal but the machines I had that did this (butler/WM pto) had the pump at floor level. My machine has the pump near the van roof so it would be alot of uphill distance and I was concerned about starving the pump.

What's amadder wit yous all......a small holding tank sits right behind yor pump.....OH that would be like a Steam Genie!

Yeah someone has a pump that is like variable speed or something so it doesnt shutoff as much. either shurflow or flowjet i think

12 volt internal bypass pumps are great.

Called DuaneO and he said that my cat 290 can siphon straight from the tank so I can avoid all the complications. He said it being a psiton pump it has strong suction if it were one of the plunger styles it would need assistance.
